Bangkok--11 Jul--Bromsgrove International School Thailand
Bromsgrove is excited to be offering a new range of qualifications to students entering the Sixth Form from August 2016. The BTEC (Business, Technology and Education Council) has been available to students in the UK for over 30 years, and is a well respected qualification recognised globally. Bromsgrove is proud to be extending this opportunity to students in Thailand.
As a leading provider of the British Curriculum, we feel it is time to give our students a broader range of subjects to study: the BTEC is the perfect option for young people who want a more 'hands on' and practical education. The teaching standards remain exceptional and of the quality that parents have come to associate with Bromsgrove. In addition, our BTEC students will be gaining hugely beneficial skills, that will support them in becoming more independent and better prepared for life outside of school, in a way that differs from traditional A Levels.
We will be offering four exciting BTEC programmes: Sport, Creative Digital Media, Travel and Tourism and Business. Each Level 3 BTEC taught at Bromsgrove is equivalent to 1 A Level and also is recognised by UCAS. We offer these qualifications in combination with the more traditional A -Level programme, thus offering a truly unique pathways to Bromsgrove students.
The BTEC curriculum has been constructed to offer more practical and vocational skills to students, whilst also developing deep subject knowledge. These two strands combine to support students in becoming equipped for successful university study, as well as 21st century careers. Expert classroom teaching works in conjunction with personalised and independent project briefs that require creative thinking and problem solving, giving BTEC students a broad range of soft skills. Over the course of the students' time in our Sixth Form, they will consistently build on and develop their skills, creating a unique profile that is sought after by universities in Thailand and overseas.
The BTEC courses on offer at Bromsgrove have been specifically selected to complement the interests and needs of the regional career market. When taken in combination with A-Levels, a huge range of global Higher Education and university options become possible. This means that wherever our students' talents and interests lie, we can personalise their Post-16 education to ensure that they take the courses right for them.
Just like the A-Level programme, BTEC qualifications are recognised around the world affording our students some truly interesting global education opportunities. BTEC is currently offered in over 600 institutions worldwide, but the qualification is still relatively unheard of in Thailand. Bromsgrove hopes to change that, as we embark on this dynamic, internationally-recognised programme.
In addition to the academic courses at Bromsgrove, extra-curriculum activities are offered every weekday, leadership is cultivated, and each and every scholar is expected to challenge themselves daily in our warm and supportive environment. Our boarding facilities also ensure that each boarding student has consistent academic support on our beautiful campus.
Our nurturing pastoral care and excellent standards of teaching and learning ensure that an education at Bromsgrove prepares young people for further study, or life in the workplace. Having completed two years within our Sixth Form, Bromsgrove graduates are ready to face the world.
